Don't see why not.  Let's qualify these as implementations A and B.

Let's say you put A under /appl and B under /appl2.

Group A users would have a .profile that puts /appl/fp in their path, so
any references to *clerk or the like are group A binaries.

Group B users would have a .profile that puts /appl2/fp in their path, to
do the opposite.

Using fP's environment variables, you can override all the data locations
anyway, as I'm sure you're aware.  Technically, there's one for the
programs as well, I think, although I never used it.
